I'd give me a try once
But I'm all out of luck
It's Monday again now
Just get so stuck
Panic I'm on the floor
I can't see through the glass
Please pick me up
This too won't pass
I dream in circles
They're something vicious
I hate all of those flavors
I'm looking for delicious
I sink until I'm calm
Treading water I don't mind
I sit here now due to the sweat
All I did was the grind
I get annoyed by texts
I don't want your calls
I throw up the magic dust
And the nothingness falls
Remember me tomorrow
I'm so hazy and my eyes weak
I'll take a double shot
Don't skimp on what I seek
Money doesn't help me
I can't buy a cure for madness
I'm too entrenched inside
This deep dark sadness
Quit asking me what I want
You should know that
Cuz in the pitch black
Is where my hope's at
Routine drives my soul
My time gets too old
Before I know what I had
It's all but gone and sold
Why do these old faces
Keep breaking in this house
I sprinkle the tinder 'round
I gather the gas I douse
Nothing makes sense
Do these words mince
You never even cared
But we haven't talked since
I fight this and scream out
The red numbers are too loud
Feel like sometimes that's all
Gone away with the cloud
If I'm still there when I get up
I guess it's time to drive
Trauma breeds heartbreak
The beauty cannot thrive
Every day more people leave
I'm not a fan of this song
I can't change the station
Because this dream is strong
My card is worn out
I'm sore and my ears ache
I'll give you a hug anytime
For all the people's sake
I worry too much
About the distant past
All the shitty days are common
In that they didn't last
Who will play the music
When the last dancer is gone
It'll all fade out again
Until the next day's dawn

WRITE YOUR DATE: SAVE YOUR DATE: JUST FOR TODAY
I think there is something cathartic when you write out your date.
Write your date out on a piece of paper and take a selfie with it and send a direct message to me and I will post in a collage the next day.
For myself, I am proud of my date. I’m proud to even have one day, because that’s all we got. Our dates collectively together show unity. Unity is a huge part of recovery, regardless of what you do to stay sober. Unity is most important to me. ❤️

Love this so much from @common_wild - this was literally me an hour ago tonight 😂. Because the fact is we do not have to drink in order to find parenting bearable (are you listening Big Alcohol, because I know the more parents who cotton on to that the worse your sales figures will be #sorrynotsorry 🤷🏻‍♀️). But that doesn’t mean when we stop drinking we have to suddenly undergo a personality transplant and become some Mary Poppins type who wants to be glued to their little darlings’ side 24/7. I love my kids, but fuck that for a game of soldiers (or Barbies, or My Little Pony or some incomprehensible, interminable thing that only makes sense in the mind of my 5 year old and possibly not even there). There are countless other ways we can escape, treat ourselves, make time for us as individuals, spend some time being the person we vaguely remember from the mythical *time before*. And guess what, some of these coping mechanisms, these self care practices, these snatched hours of fun Actually Work. Wine did not make me less stressed or happier, I thought it did at the time but it honestly didn’t. Yoga does. So do singing, running, studying counselling and eating chocolate honeycomb magnums and watching The Good Place in bed with a hot water bottle which are some of the other things I regularly do to escape from my little cherubs. Alcohol has nothing to do with who we are. Nothing at all. #soberpositive#sober#sobriety#alcoholfree#teetotaler#drinkingproblem#soberlife#soberlifestyle#soberliving#soberaf#sobrietyrocks#sobermum#sobermom#addiction#addictionrecovery#recovery#recoveryispossible#wedorecover#mumssupportingmums#mumsofinstagram#mumlife#yoga#selfcare#mentalhealth#wellness#wellbeing#maternalmentalhealth

Quite often the most challenging things in life can also be the most rewarding. We reinforced this concept yesterday when @dansbruton and I dug out a pit about the size of my truck after I dumped my sled into a ten foot tree well. This sport brings a whole new appreciation to earning your turns. Snowmobiling is one of the most challenging activities I have ever done and despite all the heavy lifting and hard work I continue to get more and more addicted every time I go out. Nothing better than the feeling of progression and actually putting some lines together! ⠀

Going through old papers I gleefully discovered this “relic” written by my son in 2009. Tears roll down my cheeks as I see myself through is pre-teen eyes. He is a college freshman today, ten years have passed 😘🤗💜
